British release markings

[Gspragge]

The point to point Broad Arrow marking for items released from
government ownership. Does any one have the regulation for the use of this marking.

 

[TimG]

It's a bit complex - The mark you show, if on gun ammunition, denotes that the article has been rejected or condemned. If the mark appears on small arms, it denotes a sale mark, government property sold from imperial stock.

This one has sold on it, under that M^M ?

 

[Gspragge]

What does M^M stand for ?

 

[TimG]

Making an educated guess, I would say "Ministry off Munitions."
